Never

You act like you care,
But I know you really don't
You bother, but won't
Save me from despair

Get away from me
I can't look in your eyes
My grief
Your betrayal
You are so disgraceful in disguise

I'm forced to care,
and forced to act
Like I love you still
But my facade is cracked

I can't believe you did this
and still expect to see,
Things the way they were before
But ignore what you've done to me

You are blind,
but now I see
The hurt,
The grief,
the prison
You've now forced on our family


The author's comments:
I've never really written any poetry before, so feedback is appreciated. I plan to make revisions after considering the responses.
The poem is about my dad, and his suicide attempt. I had to find a way to get it out, and make myself feel better about it.
